building a mid-range pc, suggestions?

[kanoobie]

And you posted that mistake like in three threads lol but NP

Kick me while I am down why don't you? :lol: I think more clearly when I am drunk than when I am drowsy from being tired. After my first post I got a little too anxious about reading and following up on as many posts as I could. How do you guys do it day in and day out? It's exhausting! Ill try being drunk next time I mess something up 😛 .

[toasty2]

So, lionhardt, you built this thing yet?

 

[Lionhardt]

no, im taking a FREE class to build a $600 computer, which is all FREE, but i will also add some money to get teh parts i need, the class is goin on now, but we will purchase our parts by the end of feb, and build by teh enbd of april, but how expensive do u think parts will be by then?

 

[Lionhardt]

can u guys gimme a list of reliable psu companies?
what wattage should i get, or specifically what psu?

 

[rwaritsdario]

Budget? Requirements?

 

[Lionhardt]

well im gettin about 500 bucks for free, and then ill add on whatever it takes to make it suitable...i just want an all around god decent comp...
i will be purchasing parts in february, or mabye get items that are always priced the saem(ex. case, psu, mabye mobo) for xmas

 

[rwaritsdario]

I would wait till a couple of weeks for buying everything unless its something that youre positive thatll run out or wont get a better price.

 

[Lionhardt]

ohh, ok, and would u guys suggest me gettin a separate case and psu, or should i get one of those combo deals?

 

[rwaritsdario]

Depends on budget and requirements. Look into Antec for good deals right now.

 

[Lionhardt]

yeah, but i mean, if on newegg i see i nice case with a power supply that comes along, is it worth it? or should i just get a separate psu?

 

[rwaritsdario]

If its a decent brand and the specs on the PSU are good, yes.
